[Leica] On topic sort of ... aka Leica on Facebook

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Every time I use a tripod, a resin one now, I kick myself for not having
used one earlier. And more often.
I find them a freeing experience and inspiring and enabling of pix with
greater authority and formality.
And its easier to take pictures with one.
Especially if the camera has a motor drive you just click away.
